CHI PLANTING TOBACCo.-No finer seasn
Oh for setting out tobacco plants could be {
CT sired and farmers have made good use
or the opportunity offered. While the II
have been an annoyance to many we he
rs of no scarcity of plants and they are in Fl
lei condition considering the backward spril
ty. We believe it is the intention of plant
rs. throughout this section to put in less
18th bacco this year and endeayOr to grow
Ter finer. This is the correct thing-plf
fewer acres, manure we'll, cultivate tn
,ts oughly and handle prOperly-make up
,ha quality what is lacking in quantity a
rt all will be better off.
